Car: 89 240SXBrakes: 90-92 (IIRC) Z32TT 30mm Calipers
Which Z32 Master Cylinder do I need? Year? TT/NA?
This is the last piece I need for my conversion.
TIA.
Master Cylinder
As far as I can tell, all Z32TT front calipers are the same from production dates 7/'89 - 7/'92. This would mean that both TT M/C's available through that year range will work....because the two different M/C use the same caliper for the years in question. Two of the M/C's interchange between TT and N/A...
The years for the TT M/C are split this way:
from 7/'89-1/'91 P/N N3000-52473
and from 1/'91-all is P/N N3000-52482
The years for the N/A M/C are:
From 2/'89-6/'90 is P/N N3000-52472
From 7/'90-1/'91 is P/N N3000-52473
From 2/'91-all is P/N N3000-52482
These Part Numbers are for the Tokico brand M/C.

What I'm talking about is what SingleCamSam is talking about. Supposedly, there are 3 different size master cylinders, and supposedly, you need the 1/16" version.
What I want to know is what year that master cylinder came with. It really has nothing to do with the calipers, it has more to do with the brake lines than anything.

does this help you any
"The 300 zx 1 1/16" MC is spec'd on something like 7 models, including the early na cars. The key is that it is made by NABCO, not Tokico. About $215 new from Nissan. The fittings bolt right up. Sorry you had to find out the hard way. Also, the NABCO is stamped 1 1/16 right on the MC very plainly."

A way to be sure would be to run to the local parts house, ask for a '92 TT M/C open the box and see if it's cast with 1-1/16". This shouldn't be a problem for a parts house to open the box just to make sure that you're getting what you're looking for.
Tinted, I read that link too....
"I have discovered that Nissan used a 15/16", 1" as well as 1 1/16" master cylinder in 300ZX. There doesn't seem to be a method to the madness, so make sure you know which one you are buying. I used the 1 1/16" MC for my swap"
hmm this is getting more confusing as I go.

"As far as MCs go...this is a bit tricky. There are 5 different MCs on Z32s. There are 2 different size Tokico MCs (1" and 17/16"), and 3 different Nabco models (15/16", 1", and 17/16"). With minor modifications, they'll bolt up to S13s and S14s without ABS. ABS S13s, these bolt right on. Non-ABS S13s, if you just want to go to the 15/16" MC (stock is 7/8"), then you can get an 86 S12 200SX MC from autozone, rebuilt, that will bolt right on."

some more gibble garble
"Z32 Master Cylinder bore size:84-1/89NA & Turbo = 15/16"2/89-8/91NA & 6/89-1/91 Turbo = 1 1/16"7/90-1/91 = 1 1/16"9/91-96NA & 2/91-96 Turbo = 1"
I got that from some Z website. I'm not sure about the 84-89 MC sizes. All other are correct, as I have purchase ALL OF THEM. The 17/16 is same as 1 1/16 and has all 3 holes for mounting (insert included). The 1" one has a weird 5 sided plug which can be remove and use (no insert though, you have to provide your own). IMO, the 1" works best, it all depends how you like your brake pedal feel.
One last thing, 15/16, 17/16 or 1 1/16 is all stamped on to the side of the MC. The 1" isn't, if this helps any."
